Bulksms API

[Walter]

I have received this javascript code from the bulksms vendor and want to add it to a dialog2 component.

1. Would it be possible to run this from the dialog2 component
2. If possible, is there someone who can assist me with this as I am clueless on this javascript code.
3. I have created a username, password and message objects but from there I am not sure.

Thanks

java code:

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

public class SendSms {

    static public void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Construct data
            String data = "";
            /*
             * Note the suggested encoding for certain parameters, notably
             * the username, password and especially the message.  ISO-8859-1
             * is essentially the character set that we use for message bodies,
             * with a few exceptions for e.g. Greek characters.  For a full list,
             * see:  http://bulksms.2way.co.za/docs/eapi/submission/character_encoding/
             */
            data += "username=" + URLEncoder.encode("myusername", "ISO-8859-1");
            data += "&password=" + URLEncoder.encode("xxxxxx", "ISO-8859-1");
            data += "&message=" + URLEncoder.encode("This is a test", "ISO-8859-1");
            data += "&want_report=1";
            data += "&msisdn=44123123123";

            // Send data
            URL url = new URL("http://bulksms.2way.co.za:5567/eapi/submission/send_sms/2/2.0");
            /*
            * If your firewall blocks access to port 5567, you can fall back to port 80:
            * URL url = new URL("http://bulksms.2way.co.za/eapi/submission/send_sms/2/2.0");
            * (See FAQ for more details.)
            */

            URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
            conn.setDoOutput(true);
            OutputStreamWriter wr = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
            wr.write(data);
            wr.flush();

            // Get the response
            BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
            String line;
            while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
                // Print the response output...
                System.out.println(line);
            }
            wr.close();
            rd.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Re: Bulksms API

Walter,

The code you have above is java, not javascript. Java and javascript are not the same thing. As far as I know, Alpha Five does not support java code. It does, however, use javascript. Javascript is used on the browser client whereas java is server side programming language.

Re: Bulksms API

I have received this javascript code from the bulksms vendor and want to add it to a dialog2 component.

The Java code constructs a simple connection to a URL and then posts data to it. So, you should be able to easily rewrite the code in Xbasic using similar commands. You'll probably end up using one of the following functions:

• HTTP_GET_PAGE()
• HTTP_GET_PAGE2()
• HTTP_GET()
• HTTP_POST()
• HTTP_POST_PAGE2()

Here's the wiki entry on Internet Functions and Methods.

Hi ,

Thanks for the reply. Thanks for helping out on this. I did not even see the difference.

I do have a project that use http_post(). Thanks.

Have a nice day
